Fallen Earth's spiked chopper debuts in new trailer
Why did the Fallen Earth chicken cross the road? To get a closer look at the game's new choppers of course. When we say choppers, we mean badass bikes and not helicopters (although that would be cool too -- chop chop GamersFirst). Anyway, as we reported earlier this week, Wednesday marks the final day to subscribe to Fallen Earth prior to its free-to-play/hybrid makeover, and the faithful will receive a new spiked chopper mount for their trouble. You can take a good long look at the bike -- as well as plenty of post-apocalyptic wasteland visuals and the aforementioned chicken -- in the latest game trailer after the cut.
Fallen Earth announces cash shop sale
Even after the apocalypse, price-slashing still appears to be a running tradition. GamersFirst announced today that everything in the Fallen Earth cash shop must go! Or something like that, anyway. Many Fallen Earth cash shop items have had their prices lowered drastically, with the sale lasting until the launch of Alpha County on July 6th. The selection of items on sale is extensive, with extra character slots -- usually $30 -- dropping to a comparatively dirt-cheap $11. Faction resets drop from $15 to $9, and many other items, such as a fashionable pair of brass goggles and a terrifyingly fowl (ha ha) prairie chicken mount, have had their prices lowered by 50% or more. So if you're a Fallen Earth player looking to part with your hard-earned cash, head on over to the official site for the full sale listings.
Fallen Earth offers $9.99 box copy, prairie chicken mount
Still thinking about checking out Fallen Earth's wasteland charms, but looking for a little prodding to send you over the edge?

For a limited time (through October 22nd to be exact), customers who purchase Fallen Earth through GameStop retailers -- either online or at traditional brick and mortar outlets -- will receive a boxed copy of the game for a paltry $9.99. In addition to the $20 instant savings, players will get an in-game prairie chicken mount for their trouble. You can learn more at the official Fallen Earth website, or locate the nearest GameStop.
Wasteland Diaries: The darker side of Ranger Rick
If you are anything like me, then you were brought up with at least a rudimentary respect for nature: its beauty, its diversity, and -- most important of all -- the sheer breadth of ways that it can and most certainly will kill you. This is doubly true for all of our readers in Australia, who contend with the world's deadliest wildlife, as well as critters that just freak us the heck out, like bird-eating spiders. You can only imagine that it gets a whole lot worse when you dump radiation and mutation into the ecosystem, and as such, wanderers in the wasteland of Fallen Earth have to step lively to avoid unfortunate entanglements. (No, not Imperial Cruisers -- that's another game, dude.) This isn't nature according to wildlife preservation societies, where it needs to be loved and cherished; this is a brutal you-versus-them showdown that requires a firm hand and a .357 Magnum. Preferably two of them, if your crafting skill is high enough. So hit the jump and arm yourself with knowledge (it's half the battle) about the creepers and crawlers of Fallen Earth.
